DNF Duel developers have recently released a new official trailer for the game. This trailer showcases new moves for the Berserker, Fighter, Grappler, Inquisitor, and Ranger in the game.

The first trailer only showed a few characters from the Dungeon Fighter Online game, but following the first open beta, ten playable characters were available in the roster. This included the following characters:

• Berserker
• Inquisitor
• Grappler
• Striker
• Ranger
• Hitman
• Dragon Knight
• Vanguard
• Kunoichi
• Crusader

The most recent trailer for the game also revealed two unannounced characters, which includes the Male Ghostblade and Female Mechanic. Take a look on the below trailer to catch a glimpse of these new characters who'll most likely launch with the game this Summer.

Platforms

Arc System Works, Neople and Eighting were initially coy on saying which platforms they'll release the game on. We know the game is coming to PS4, PS5, and PC, since the beta was available on both platforms.

However, there's no word if we can also expect to see the game on Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X or Nintendo Switch. Only time will tell, so stay tuned for updates.
